Everest Base Camp & Lhasa Tour

Overview

TIBET: EVEREST BASE CAMP TOUR. Enjoying numinous Tibetan capital and exploring the rest... All the way through most stunning landscapes in the world... TIBET, the very name evokes feelings of awe and mystery. A land of ancient Buddhist culture, awesome landscapes, artistic monasteries, exotic cities, hidden valleys and centuries-old caravan trails. 

Overland tour into Tibet itself is far more than interesting. Crossing, high desert and driving through over three 5000+ meter passes and at the same time visiting Millarepa's cave; clear view of Mount Everest is visible from a distance. A couple of days staying at the guest houses en-route, another few in the mystical Tibetan capital of Lhasa takes you to the palaces of the Dalai Lama, and the finest monasteries and temples.Out
